Sure you can! You just got....um never mind.
Have those who disliked the Abramsprise finally accepted design?

You Joker, you!I'm fine with the outside...it's the inside, mostly the engineering areas, that I don't like.
I will always call the eningeering section in this one, the "Axis Chemicals Engineering".
I thought I saw Keaton's Batmobile in the shuttle bay. Seriously, although I love the new design... I am NOT thrilled with engineering. I'm not sure which I dislike more; the huge vats or the water park tubes.You Joker, you!I'm fine with the outside...it's the inside, mostly the engineering areas, that I don't like.

I am waiting for the Borg Roller Coaster to be replaced with Scotty's Water Tube Ride at Paramount's Carowinds here.

When I first saw the ship, I didn't know how to take it. After about 30 minutes, I decided that I liked it. When I saw it in all it's glory on the movie screen, I fell in love with it.
The water tubes I understand completely. You can liken that to deuterium flow, water for cooling, ship's systems, utility water, etc.
The vats are much harder to explain. Now, I can live with it, and honestly I like it, but I can understand how others can't say the same.

Aesthetically, looks on screen for entertainment purposes? Can;t really say too big a bad thing, or overly good thing about any Enterprise labelled starships.
Then, in the back of my mind, the engineering skilled part of my brain says -EVERY- enterprise is a failing in the making right down to its bare frame. I believe Scotty may be correct, yes Enterprise (all of them, not just the 1701-A) were built by monkeys.
"Fly here apart then!"
"Aye sir, I'll just shutdown that integrity field we have overpowered to keep this stupid-ass shape together and we'll collapse in 2 seconds at sub-light speeds!"
"We're at warp..."
"Then we won't feel it."
"...make it so."

I recently had the opportunity to examine the Playmates Replica and doing so did change my perceptions slightly.
I now better appreciate the secondary hulls rearward placement but I now hate the closeness, size and overall design of the nacelles more than ever. Bleech.

Hell, I'd even be happy if they used that thing from ST2 with the 4 rotating lights, a hamster on a wheel, a gutted Dalek shell, a lump of crystal and old style 'fruit machine' computers than Axis Chemicals Engineering....would at least be something more of an effort made.
I like the busy engineering section, though I don't think they will reuse it in XII they should by then have the cash to build their own set which I hope is just as busy, clean simple engineering sections don't make any sense at all when you think about it, they are supposed to be cluttered.
Yeah, too close, but in TMPprise, the nacelles were too flat.
We never get a design break.

Can't wait to get that book myself.
On the BluRay specials there are also some really nice close-ups of the model that show how much effort was put into building the mesh; the detail level is incredible!

The water tubes-scene is of course just there for the sake of it and to give the audience something to laugh about after that exposition-scene before and that emotionally rather heavy scene afterwards.
And the creative team at least tried to give those tubes some 'actual' purpose.
I mean, it reads in big, bold letters 'Inert Reactant' on those things...
The reason for the water tube scene?
Because it was so funny the first time.

like a homage to Charlie and the chocolate factory what was the point for having the water tubes.

I just want to know what was the point couldn't they have not beamed Scotty properly.
It's called: Untried, experimental beaming process. No first implementation of anything is without flaws. Just ask anyone who's used Version 1.0 or Beta versions of any software.
The 'beaming Scotty into water tubes' equivalent for Beta flaws would be a clown bursting in and dancing the Bolero.It's called: Untried, experimental beaming process. No first implementation of anything is without flaws. Just ask anyone who's used Version 1.0 or Beta versions of any software.
